Despite our indignation meeting, it was decided to carry the trapped bear's hide to Hensley, and for us to use only the meat as recompense for trouble, to say nothing of risk to life and limb. Such is the mountaineers' regard for property rights! The animal we had ingloriously won was undersized, weighing scant 175 pounds.
Artillery Company. K. Wilson, 1st lieutenant, appointed captain in January, 1847; Wm. Blackburn, 2d do. Officers on detached Service and doing Duty at the South. S. Hensley, captain; S. Gibson, do. Barton, do.
Two officers only were killed, Captain Hensley of the Dublin Fusiliers, and Major Childe, who was a most popular officer.

She knows everything that is being said of everybody else, and quite a lot that hasn't even got as far as that. Aunt Cynthia has a string of wonderful stories about Cowley Fathers biting Nestorian Bishops, and Athelstan Riley pinching Hensley Henson, and so forth.
